Why Can't I Find What I'm Looking For??
I have tons and tons of cookbooks. When I go to the bookstore there's a butt impression on the floor where I sit flipping through cookbooks. I have diet cookbooks, gourmet cookbooks, vegetarian cookbooks, vegan cookbooks, subscriptions to cooking magazines, etc etc... People give me old cookbooks they find in the attic because they know I'll use it somehow. The one problem I find in most cookbooks is that I have to change something. This one uses milk, that one uses eggs, this one uses whole wheat pastry flour, yadda yadda yadda! So I ordered some new cookbooks online and each one was titled "Gluten-Free Dairy Free Cooking". When I got them in the mail I ripped the box open and flipped through the recipes to find that the recipes all had eggs or egg whites in them! As confused as I was, I looked up eggs online and opposed to what I thought all my life eggs are not dairy. They are an animal byproduct. But I don't eat eggs!! I can substitute eggs in some recipes, but not 4 eggs in a quiche! Or at least, not for now. If there is a will there is a way. So I decided I need to share my need to cook yummy food that caters to my diet and I am sure I'm not the only one...
